Crunchy Mexican Chicken
Ingredients 1# boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded until uniform in thickness 1 recipe of Chef Meg's Taco Seasoning 1/4 tsp salt 1 cup panko bread crumbs 1 cup low-sodium salsa
Preheat oven 375° Combine panko, taco seasoning and salt in shallow bowl Remove any fat from chicken breasts. Pull the tenderloin away from the breast; it is on the under side of the breast. Slice the remaining breast into one inch strips. You should get 4 strips from each breast. Spray each strip with nonstick cooking spray, then dip into the bread crumbs to coat the entire surface. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet. Bake for 20 min or until the meat reaches 165°. Serve with salsa.
Each serving : 3 oz chicken and 1/4 cup salsa

Here are the burger recipes:
Tofu Burger
1 block firm or extra firm tofu 1 cup dried TVP rehydrated 3-4 cups cooked beans (your choice) 1-2 cups sautéed vegetables (onions, garlic and anything else you choose) Salt and pepper to taste, can add other seasonings as well Oil for sautéing
Spray a skillet with nonstick spray. Cut tofu block in half and place in skillet over medium to medium low heat. Let the tofu cook down to about a ¼ inch thickness (maybe a little thicker). Tofu will be browned on the outside. This takes 1-2 hours.
When tofu is done, remove from skillet and let cool. In the meantime add a little oil to your skillet and add your vegetables. Cook until soft.
When the vegetables are done, place all the ingredients into a food processor and blend well, seasoning to taste.
Make burger patties and grill or cook as usual.
Black bean burger
1 large egg (use two eggs if your prefer a wetter burger) 2 cups cooked black beans ½ cup oatmeal, potato flakes or bread crumbs Onions, celery, garlic, and/or other veggies Season to taste
Saute vegetables if preferred or use raw. Mash black beans. Combine all ingredients and make patties. Cook or grill.

Here's a link to my "Mexican" Quinoa, made with whole grain quinoa, corn, black beans and onion. Light and SUPER filling! Plus a great way to get in some protein if you're a vegetarian like me! :)
Ingredients 1 eggplant - 3 inches in diameter, peeled and cut into 4 half-inch thick slices 4 teaspoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 cup pasta sauce On Sale 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Directions Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 425 degrees F. Brush both sides of the eggplant with the oil and season with the salt and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake until browned and almost tender, 6 to 8 minutes, turning once. Spread 1 tablespoon of pasta sauce on each eggplant slice. Top with the shredded cheese. Bake until the cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Here is a link to Cauliflower Pizza Crust. Really want to try it, but have not been able to make it happen. Let me know what you think.
Mix the sugar, butter, peppermint, vanilla and cream. You'll need to mix it together for a little while until it holds together nicely. Make little balls and flatten them into patties. Put them onto a lined tray (wax paper works well) and refridgerate for atleast 30 minutes. (the longer, the better)
While the patties are hardening (to make it easier to coat in chocolate), heat up your chocolate in a double boiler. When you're ready, coat the patties in the melted chocolate and let harden. Try to do one at a time, as it can get pretty messy if you have too many in at once.
